Brake Repair Boise

Brake Pads & Shoes

Replacement of brake pads and shoes is often the most common automotive repair that needs to be done. Problems with brake pads and shoes can usually be identified by squealing. If your brake pads and shoes have deteriorated, you’ll hear metal-on-metal grinding sounds when braking. This means that it’s too late, and your vehicle’s rotors and drums are being damaged. At Dowdy’s Automotive, we will provide you with a full inspection to identify any underlying problems.

Disc & Drum Brakes, Rotors

In disc and drum brake systems, rotors are attached to the wheels of your vehicle. When brake pads grip these rotors, they stop the rotor and wheels. However, friction can cause cracks and grooves to appear over time. Resurfacing the rotor can bring it back to a like-new condition reducing squealing and wobbling. At Dowdy’s Automotive, our expert technicians will provide you with a thorough inspection of your rotors and recommend the best course of action. We know that having your disc and drum brakes inspected is the best way to ensure your brake system is performing properly and ready to bring you to a safe stop at any moment.

Brake Fluid

Over time, your vehicle’s brake fluid will absorb water, causing your brake system to become less effective. The brake fluid will also become corrosive, possibly damaging the entire system. That’s why it’s essential to have your brake fluid flushed regularly to ensure your vehicle maintains fresh fluid. Talk to the expert technicians at Dowdy’s Automotive about when it’s time for you to schedule a brake fluid flush.
